They see the label, and then &quot;peg&quot; this person as &quot;just what my perception of an autistic person is&quot;, rather than looking at the individual&#39;s strengths and working with them on their own terms.<br /><br />When my son was essentially home schooled for half of his Kindergarten year, there was a &quot;teacher&quot; from his school that came in 3 times a week for about an hour and a half. She insisted on having Buddy Boy start each session by placing rings around the correct month/day on a calendar board.<br /><br />Buddy Boy knew how to do this, and was very frustrated that this person kept having him do the same darn thing every time (that he already knew how to do). So he didn&#39;t do it. Which led to her wasting much of the session trying to get him to do it, which led to him acting out, etc. It took Liz about 2 months before she convinced the &quot;teacher&quot; to just move on, already.<br /><br />JoeClub 166http://www.blogger.com/profile/01816977079856902634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202467949945153658.post-82926101499758501212009-08-27T16:10:55.169-07:002009-08-27T16:10:55.169-07:00I love what Kassiane wrote.

I know it is as important as his sunny smiles and loving kisses. <br /><br />I applaud Joaquin for standing up for himself and I hope he is successful in getting into his own home.Niksmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202467949945153658.post-52960341045314136212009-08-27T13:41:51.324-07:002009-08-27T13:41:51.324-07:00The concept of &quot;no&quot;, and &quot;I don&#39...The concept of &quot;no&quot;, and &quot;I don&#39;t want to and you won&#39;t make me&quot;.<br /><br />Far more powerful than compliance.

And people wonder why I hated it so... &quot;the child must do these tasks while you are making meals etc. The child cannot be left alone for a minute to play.&quot;<br /><br />Hopefully, he enjoys his new home and gets to socialize and ride his bike not do meaningless ABA tasks to keep him amused.farmwifetwohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.com
